THERAPY FOR THERAPISTS
WHO NEED A PLACE TO PROCESS, HEAL, AND JUST BE A PERSON INSTEAD OF A CLINICIAN IN MICHIGAN AND INDIANA
You hold space for everyone. Who holds space for you?
Ever feel like finding your own therapist is next to impossible?
Us therapists are a unique breed. And, although we often feel like other therapists should totally get it, it can sometimes feel like finding the right therapist is going to take a lot more effort than we really have to give. I mean, let’s face it, by the time we need our own therapist, we usually have almost nothing left in the tank.
So let’s talk through some of the reasons therapists need therapists, and you let me know if any of this sounds familiar…
Maybe you've noticed yourself dreading sessions, feeling numb after work, or struggling to be present with the people you love because you have nothing left to give. Perhaps you recognize the telltale signs of burnout, compassion fatigue, or vicarious trauma, and you don’t want to slip farther into those heavy and hard places.
Or maybe you’re feeling the loneliness that can come from being a therapist: the feeling that you can’t really talk to anyone about your job because of things like confidentiality, but you really need to talk with someone who gets it.
You know therapy works. You recommend it to your clients all the time. But finding a therapist who actually gets what it's like to do this work? That feels impossible.
This space is for you to coexist as both a therapist and a person.
Being a therapist comes with specific stressors that most people don't understand. Vicarious trauma. The weight of confidentiality. Imposter syndrome that tells you that you should have it all figured out. The strange loneliness of knowing so much about human pain.
Therapists I work with often experience:
Relief from the isolation of carrying client stories alone
Renewed energy and presence in sessions
Clarity about boundaries between work and personal life
Space to process your own story and how it shows up in the room
Permission to not have it all together
You became a therapist because you care deeply about helping others heal. But you need a judgment-free space to unload too.
This is that space.
I'll help you through this process tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances.
In our work together, you won't have to explain why the job is hard. You won't get a puzzled look when you talk about countertransference or the exhaustion of back-to-back heavy sessions.
You'll get a space where you can take off the therapist hat and just be a person. A space to process your own stuff. Not supervision, not consultation. Just a place to vent, reflect, and be heard without needing to feign competence.
You spend your days helping people heal. You deserve a space where someone does that for you.
Therapy for therapists isn't a luxury or a sign of weakness. It's how you sustain yourself in work that asks so much of you. It's how you stay effective, present, and connected to the reasons you chose this path.I can help you get there!

No Surprises Act
Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your mental healthcare will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescriptions drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical services or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or a picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
